Dream Play A Fried Octopus Combines Art, Absinthe & Women

Bootleg Theater presents the premiere of A Fried Octopus. This abstract dream play mingles today's artistic minds with those of the past, resulting in a surreal night of theater. Inspired by the women dancing in the paintings of Toulouse Lautrec, A Fried Octopus dives into an absinthe-fueled night of drinking in Paris to find the divine feminine bubbling up with joy, tears, and fears as the male ideal of art surrenders to the forces that influence us all. An mixture of text and creative movement provides the inventive canvas that reminds us all of the beauty that can be found even in ugly places. Join the ensemble of Bootleg artists as they explore art, performance, love, life and the women who played roles throughout it all.
